An eight-year-old Burnley dancing sensation is on cloud nine after giving the performance of her lifetime alongside Justin Bieber at his show in Cardiff last week.

Destiny Mannan, who dances at Next Level Dance studio in Burnley, was chosen from thousands of applicants to be Justin’s back-up dancer at the Principality Stadium gig and wowed on stage, with the pop sensation Bieber calling her “amazing” before hugging her.

Destiny’s mother, Siobhan Waddington, said: “It was absolutely brilliant, she was so good. It was amazing to watch her up there; I was crying, I couldn’t believe it.
